This downloadable file includes the STL files necessary to print The FOSS Cannon frame, designed specifically for Taurus PG111G2, G2, G2C, and G3C compatibility. For optimal results, print with a high-strength filament to ensure durability under stress. Detailed build instructions are available in the accompanying PDF manual at this link.

Consider printing at a high infill percentage (50-75%) to maintain structural integrity. Pay attention to layer adhesion, especially in high-stress areas of the frame. Post-processing, such as sanding or acetone smoothing (if using ABS), can enhance the final appearance and fit.

Printer Compatibility & Settings

The FOSS Cannon frame is compatible with most FDM 3D printers capable of handling detailed prints with tight tolerances. Recommended materials include PETG or ABS for their strength and heat resistance, though high-strength PLA+ can be used for less demanding builds. Avoid standard PLA due to its brittleness.

Suggested print settings include a layer height of 0.2mm, a nozzle temperature of 230-250°C (for PETG/ABS), and a bed temperature of 80-100°C. Ensure proper cooling and use a brim or raft if bed adhesion is an issue. A well-calibrated printer is essential to achieve the precision required for firearm components.

Conclusion

The FOSS Cannon is a game-changer for 3D printing and firearms enthusiasts, offering unmatched compatibility and customization for Taurus double-stack 9mm pistols. With its community-tested design and detailed build guide, it’s an accessible yet rewarding project for intermediate builders.
